what seal are you talking? just drain via the drain plug and refill with the top fill plug? If your taking the dif cover off, yes you will need to re-rtv or use a lube locker.

If your removing your diff cover you will need new rtv or a lube locker. Does the cover need to be removed, no. It it was me I would just drain through the plug.

Nice I was under the belief you needed to take it off, spray down with some brake cleaner and then bolt back on and fill it up.
